Keep the\nelbows close to your sides as you take a step back. In this position, you\nshould be leaning into the TRX with straight arms. This is the start position.<\/li><li>Keeping the\nelbows by your sides and body straight, bend the arms and lower the body\ntowards the handles. Think about the hips moving towards the handles.<\/li><li>Return and\nrepeat for reps or time.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Arguably one\nof the best TRX and general upper body strength exercises that exists. We feel\nthat this particular exercise is underused, underestimated and misunderstood.<\/li><li>When compared\nto the classic TRX Press, the simple repositioning of the arms to a lower (hip)\nposition may not seem like a big deal. However, it will demand more from your\nbody.<\/li><li>Firstly, the\nlower push position results in less shoulder movement. This will call both\nchest and triceps suddenly and to a greater extent. It can be disarming at\nfirst, so take it slow until you get used to the movement. <\/li><li>Secondly, the\ncore will feel like it\u2019s working less, but this is an illusion. The lower push\nposition does result in less core engagement. However, to perform the movement,\nthe arms must remain close to the sides. This makes the body more unstable \u2013\nrequiring activation of the deeper core muscles. You will instantly feel the\ndifference in core activation. <\/li><li>You can find\nthe ability to exert strength from a lower arm position in many bodyweight and\ngymnastic movements. Still, the inclusion of this exercise in your upper body\nstrength workouts will no doubt produce quick improvements in overall strength.<br>\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"TRX low press\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/191785982?h=a90147c06e&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did you like the tutorial for the TRX low press?
